A daily news is a publication that features the latest world and national events. It often contains opinion pieces and editorials to offer different perspectives on current affairs. It also has classified ads and a section dedicated to sports. Many people read daily news to stay up-to-date on current happenings. It is a good way to keep informed and make wise decisions when it comes to politics, business, education, entertainment, and more.
The New York Daily News is an American newspaper founded in 1919. It is the largest newspaper in New York City and one of the most influential newspapers in the United States. The paper has a long tradition of providing intense city news coverage, celebrity gossip, and the latest in pop culture. It has a reputation for being an honest, no-holds-barred tabloid with a strong political bent. Its current editorial staff is led by editor-in-chief Andy Diggle and publisher Marc Lacey. It is distributed throughout the New York Metropolitan area and beyond. In addition to its print edition, the News operates a television station called WPIX (Channel 11 in New York), a radio station known as News Radio, and a website.
Its headquarters were once located at 220 East 42nd Street near Second Avenue, an official New York City and National Landmark designed by John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood. The building was used as the model for the Daily Planet in the first two Superman films. The newspaper moved to 450 West 33rd Street, later renamed Manhattan West, in 1995. Its former radio station, WPIX-FM, now calls the same place home.
In 2021, an anonymous Yale College alumnus made a significant gift to support the creation and ongoing maintenance of the Yale Daily News Historical Archive. The Library is grateful for this generous contribution, which has facilitated the migration of the archive to a new and improved platform, allowing it to include issues dating back to 1996 and provide a better experience for users.
Weekly newspapers are general-news publications that come out once a week in a variety of broadsheet, magazine and digital formats. They usually have smaller circulations than daily papers, and may cover a small geographic-coverage area, such as a few towns in rural areas or a single neighborhood in a large urban center. Frequently, weekly newspapers engage in community journalism and report on local government meetings and police blotters.
Weekly newspapers typically have a small staff, with employees serving multiple duties. In addition to full-time staff writers and photographers, some employ freelancers on a regular basis and pay them on a per-story rate. Some also have a news clerk or editorial assistant who types family and other personal news items, as well as press releases and announcements of upcoming events. A circulation manager keeps track of subscriptions and is in charge of classified advertising. Many newspapers paginate (or lay out) their pages using computer software programs such as Adobe PageMaker, Adobe InDesign or Quark Xpress.
